I am like 5'7 (= 1,73meter?), and honestly I do think it is a disadvantage.
I've read some comments and I've read about some short people who seem very succesfull. Indeed there are.
But the reason I think is why some shorter people have succes is because they have to compensate the fact that they're short. Often, those of the smaller ones who are succesfull, are notorious because they compensated their length by being very funny, story telling, spontaneous, sometimes alfa, likable, energetic, etc. That's why people remember them. They say "oh there goes that short guy! boy he is sooo hilarious!". They will never point at you just because you're short, or it must be because you're a loser.
So I am short too. Well, almost every guy is taller than me (I live in a country with very tall people). When being in a club, I like to make some subtle observations. Basicly, most players are slightly taller than the avarage height. Those are the most desired men. They're tall, which make them look like they have more power, girls have to look up to him (and as it first look like they first have to look up litteraly, but by doing it, unconsciously, the do it figurly as well), and it is also a part of your looks. It's a fact. I've read a darwinistic experiment, and it shows that women like taller guys. It's just evolution. Like female elephants like male elephants with the longest horns/ ivory, like female girafs like male girafs with the longest necks, like female peacocks like male peacocks with the biggest tales, women like men with who are taller.
And this gives me a disadvantage. In a club where I don't know many people, women prefer to make eye contact, and thus build attraction, with the taller guys next to me than with me. That's why, unless I know a lot of people/friends so I can build social status in the club, it's very difficult for me to build a good club/night game at places where the music is too loud to talk.
There is also a danger by compensating, and that is by trying too hard. Taller people don't have to try too hard and work too hard because they have the luck of his length. So you got to find a good balance.
But remember: if you want to learn the game, you got to play it right. The good thing about game is that everyone can learn to play it, wheter you're tall or small. Style is a short guy as well, and he is one of the best PUA in the world. And btw, small guys often have the advantage of having a stronger body than taller guys, who are more often thin. I am pretty muscular without doing much work out. I don't go to the gym. Improve a lot of verbal game, get a body language, and in general, increase your confidence a lot! You can't change your looks, so it's better not to think about it too hard and be confident with your length. When people tell me that I'm small, I anwer them with the saying "small but brave!".
Two weeks ago I k-clossed a girl who was slightly taller than me (she called me a teddy bear while hugging me all the time), and there is an even taller girl now who is showing a lot of interest in me. It's not impossible  .
